Patient's question:
My little girl, she is 5 years old. This week, the child said her ears hurt. In the morning, there was a lot of yellow earwax, and her ears were buzzing. She also had a slightly low fever. Please ask: If a child has otitis media and the ear is draining yellow fluid, how should it be treated.Doctor's answer:
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. Parents can use topical anti-inflammatory ear drops for local treatment. If the child has severe ear pain and yellow discharge, it is advisable to use some pain-relieving medication to alleviate the symptoms. If the child also has a high fever, it is appropriate to take fever-reducing medication as needed. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. Otitis media has a tendency to recur, and if there is a tympanic membrane perforation, it is necessary to seek timely medical treatment. During this period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
